if you breed dogs with decent pedigrees and have some that have champion sires and dams but don't show does that make you better than someone whos dogs have less decent pedigrees with fewer champions?

I feel that it isn't the ped that makes the dog but the dog is self.
though when breeding you must also look at what the dog may give to it's offspring.
A dog with Champions in it ped at lest shows that more then one person (other then the breeder) has looked at the dogs and have evaluated them.
